HITLER NEARLY DONE FOR!

A LONDON EDITOR’S PREMONITION

LONDON, May 17.

“The war in Europe will be decided in the next six or eight months ’’ says John Gordon, editor of the “Sunday Express.” “It may even be ended within that period. However, foolish it may be to wish-think signs ''of weakness in Germany, it is clear beyond doubt that Hitler’s difficulties are grave.

Their places have been taken by very young recruits and middleaged men. Neither will stand the shock of battle as well as the youngmen .who have gone.
